smaller logo, please Max2

Why? 72.213.167.17 is it too big?
Slightly. Dimensions should be <= 150px, height and width. 66.31.209.239 20:31, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

New Main/User News

WTF HAPPENED TO THE MAIN PAGE?!?!?! :O Max2 We're not an "anything goes" wiki, we're not totally fake, you're making it look like UnMario!

sorry, i didn't know i wasn't allowed to edit it. It wasn't protected... -- f_smallm_182d216.png W L* Movie Updates 09:53, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

'tis K... sorry I snapped. Max2 But, who agrees about the User News?

(moved)

'K, what would it have, who'd be the writers, who'd be the director? --Xzelion (Talk)

User Stuff. I guess we'd have a sign-up, I'll be director (If I'm allowed). Max2 If it's an OK, we don't make the first issue until we've got a few sections.

Well, I guess its worth a shot...--Xzelion (Talk)

OK. I'll make a sign-up page!

User News(poll closed)

we should make a newspaper on this wiki, since, well, we have an active community, good users, why not? Max2

We have a good size community. about 10 users. It's just early, not a lot of people are on right now. Max2 Wait until like, lunchtime.

Agree, we need one

  1. Max2

Nah, not enough users

  1. We want at least a bunch of active users to see the first issue, or its just us SMW members reading it

-- f_smallm_182d216.png W L* Movie Updates 10:12, 20 June 2007 (EDT)

I dunno

Protected

Now the main page doesn't really need to be protected. Not until we actually get some content here. Anyway, any ideas for a main page? Smiddle 14:57, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

Li'm working on it :P --Xzelion (Talk)
If you unprotect it, I can see what I can do. What should be on it? Links to users? Stuff? Et cetera? Smiddle 16:00, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
  • I am not good at making main pages. it's complicated somewhat.

-- f_smallm_182d216.png W L* Movie Updates 16:44, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

I am a bit. I just need some ideas for content. And "borrowing" MarioWiki's is not a good idea. Smiddle 06:01, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

actually, copying a bit of MarioWiki's (as in, not the whole page) would be better. I mean, this wiki is a... sub-wiki of MarioWiki! -Max

I still think an original would be the best. Any ideas on what we can have? I can make the tables 'n stuff. Smiddle 12:03, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
I have ideas. How about we have a couple of boxes, one with links to stuff like Users, Places, Characters, Sprites, etc. and another for Games, Comics, Movies, Stories, etc. ? Like, one box could be titled "The Users", and another could be called "Wikon", or something else meging either "Wiki" and "Canon" or merging "Users" and "canon". -1337Yoshi 20:15, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

MarioWiki

I can't get to it! Is there somehing wrong with my cpu? -Max

I haven't been able to access it for a while. --Xzelion (Talk)

It works perfectly for me -- f_smallm_182d216.png W L* Movie Updates 22:58, 1 July 2007 (EDT)

It's down!!!!! STEVE DIDN'T PAY! Super Luigi 821

Ya, it will be until he pays. [[User:PLUMs|PLUMs]] 15:59, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

PAY STEVE PAY!!!! Guys I found a way to get in the Mariowiki chat even if the wiki is down! Go to smbhq.com, go to chatroom, join the chatroom type in /join Mariowiki then we'll talk. I hope it works. TRY IT (Edit: Wait i think it does work! IT WORKS!) Super Luigi 821

Just forget it, I can't get it on. Hope you can... Super Luigi 821


Go on MFGG's forums, go to Chat, type /join mariowiki


It works. -Max But, you have to be a member. Just... hold on... hm... I could... but nah.


I have an idea! Go to darkmyst, click chat now, then where it says what channel, type MW Bean

Wait, nvm, it didn't work, :(. Bean 16:40, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

Good thing I'm a member there. Guys, see ya in chat. Super Luigi 821

Logo

can someone please make the invisible logo smaller? -Max I can't go to my Userpage unless I come to this talk.

I think I can. Smiddle 05:29, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

Image Space

what should we do about it? -Max

I have a proposal about it

Max's Gallery Imaging Space Plan

We make a commitee that deletes all images that are in Galleries, and uploads them externally.


Comments? -Max

Bean 16:31, 2 July 2007 (EDT) It's seems like a good idea, I like it.

I only brought it up, because I checked and we are running out of image space. Of course, It seems most images in galleries are only in that gallery, but some, like This that are also on a page can stay. -Max

I really don't want to advertise, but on ElWiki you can get how much image space as you want (well, not infitite, but you get it). Smiddle 16:44, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

ElWiki? Do you have to pay? Smiddle, that's not advertizing. That's helping. Anyway, do you have to pay? -Max Maybe we should/could move.

Sorry, this won't work. The filter will likely identify most images as spam. I tried to show WL an image I made, only to be stopped. [[User:PLUMs|PLUMs]] 17:06, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

??? filter? -Max What Filter? and how?

Editthisinfo has a filter, and it stops picoodle from working. That's all I have to say. [[User:PLUMs|PLUMs]]

What Happened on the Wiki

Well, Steve finally came on. Short & simple: we are on a shared server (meaning other web sites are hosted on it), and the Central Processing Unit on the server was being overused by us. After a few months, it's time for another server move. This should also fix the speed problems I've heard about today. The move will be made by tomorrow. However, it could take more days for people to get the wiki back, and at varying times. For now, you don't need to refresh Mwiki, praying for it to come back, until tomorrow. :P

The chat room is still open. If it doesn't work on Darkmyst, try something else... Wayoshi 19:20, 2 July 2007 (EDT)

Ok. -Max

Yay. Super Luigi 821

I'm so lonely in chat... Super Luigi 821

What do you mean? --Xzelion (Talk)


OK, the move is almost done. But, it may take people days for their comps to recognize the server change. Thankfully, Steve gave us a shortcut to make the waiting time 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds. When the move's done, you'll see the wiki right away if you do the following. You'll be editing one of your computer's core files:

  1. Go to the following: C drive > WINDOWS > system32 > drivers > etc
  2. Open the "hosts" file. When given a list of programs, use a text editor like Notepad.
  3. Add the following to the end, on a new line: 66.7.207.124 www.mariowiki.com
  4. Save. Your comp now knows the new address of MarioWiki, without having to wait. At the time of this message you'll see a green server message, but not an error message on mariowiki. Later today the wiki will be back.

Again, thank Steve. This is basically tricking your comp. Wayoshi 12:18, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

I tried to do it, but it still says "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" Bean

A move?

As I see an editthis isn't entirely great, frist of all someone said we're running out of image space, also I noitced that This doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how we can move to another wiki(a) or something? --Xzelion (Talk)

Only Unmariowiki is what I can think of. I know the community at Fantendo will hate a move to Fantendo, at how they reacted to a little bit of comic relief. PLUMs

I've seen that stuff work on ElWiki, me and SL821 have ran a wiki there, too. It is here. If you need a proof that that works, go to template:character. Smiddle 12:22, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
How do we get an elwiki? PLUMs
[1] Smiddle 12:32, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

At Fantendo, we're starting to get people from Fanon Wiki over there. -Max UnMario would get wikia mad. Maybe ElWiki, but... does it cost anything?

Oh! It doesn't... -Max Consider?

I doubt anyone at Fantendo would be happy, including myself. PLUMs

BTW, Wikia wouldn't care if we allowed User stuff at Unmario. Angela herself asked, "Why not?" PLUMs

Why? Why? Because it's not funny, duh. Smiddle 12:29, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Whatever it is, We should probably move to ElWiki. I checked out some Wikis, it's a good place. -Max

Move to ElWiki

Just because I'm curious.

Yes
  1. Smiddle 12:27, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
No
Comments

This isn't gonna effect anything.

Changing the logo there is a lot harder than on Editthis, but I know how to do it. Just ask me. Smiddle 12:27, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Or me. PLUMs 12:28, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Again, Unmariowiki would be a good place. PLUMs

No Smiddle 12:29, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

No. It wouldn't. I checked. That place is dead. Let it rest in spam. -Max

I think we'll move, i'm gonig to email Hk first, but until further notice we're moving. No one create it. I will as long as its free :D --Xzelion (Talk)

It is free. And, the "Userpage Talk Contribs" bar is on the left. There's more image space, all in all, move.

The only thing I know that's worse on ElWiki is that there is no CheckUser there... Smiddle 12:38, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

So? -Max What's a CheckUser?

I don't think the Checkuser works here either...--Xzelion (Talk)
It does. Smiddle 12:43, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
Alright i emailed Hk and I'm awaiting his response. --Xzelion (Talk)

He won't respond 'till the 7th. We'll have to wait until he does. PLUMs 12:41, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

No actually it was just a notice. --Xzelion (Talk)

me and PLDS's wiki was a editthis wiki. DB

Mwiki

I can't get to it. Will it be easier to in a few days? -Max

I can't either. : ( DB

No-one can Steve is moving the server. --Xzelion (Talk)

I thought that was already done. -Max OK, I'll wait. P.S. If we're moving, you should change the SiteNotice.

I'm going to wait for Hk. --Xzelion (Talk)

Weird Coding

This is weird, now I'm finding some of the images from the wiki here Bean

Now I've found an image that I uploaded is in the database, and I found an image of Flopside. This is getting weird..... Bean 12:26, 4 July 2007 (EDT)

Whenever I open mariowiki, it has the 404 error image. Bean 12:35, 4 July 2007 (EDT)

When I wnet to Mario Wiki, the main page was just a pic of mario and under it said Mario is not asumed.

DB

Argh, when I go there it tells me "Error: Can't find site MarioWiki" and some other weird talk. This must mean that the wiki is slowly getting back... Super Luigi 821

Now it says "PHP 5.0.x is buggy on your 64-bit system; you must upgrade to PHP 5.1.x or higher. ABORTING. (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34879 for details)". Bean 13:01, 4 July 2007 (EDT)

What till the move...--Xzelion (Talk)

I'm a sysop.

PLDS!

Well, we need to move, soon!! -Max How can we be a Wiki without image space... wait. I'm sacrificing it, but delete Super Collage. and anything else unused. Delete it. It will give the Image Space a huge boost. At least until we move.

You can delete Image:Smiddle.PNG. (Note, it's .PNG! .png is a completely different image that is not large / does not need to be deleted.) Smiddle 15:59, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
